In a graduate's own words:

“Every single class I’ve taken has been a big revelation for me in terms of things I didn’t know about,” she says. “American Sentinel’s classes have offered me a world view that is so different than the view I have in my tiny little town.” She continues, “I’ve put almost everything I’ve learned immediately to use in my practice of educating other nurses.”

What Our Students Are Saying

I’m seeing that the BSN is an entry-level requirement for nurses and I’m glad I did this.

RN to BSN, Curriculum

As many facilities are working toward 80% BSN by 2020 and the Affordable Care Act is pressuring facilities to place even more emphasis on managing readmissions and costs, a BSN degree is becoming more crucial every day. Our BSN curriculum focuses on the most relevant areas of nursing today: management, community health, strategic planning and more. And students say they can immediately apply what they learn to their careers.

The RN to BSN degree program is based on the Colorado Nursing Articulation Model. Nursing students will be awarded 60 credit hours of the total 120 credit hours for their U.S. RN license and original nursing curriculum, including foundational courses, from an associate degree in nursing or a diploma in nursing. View more information on RN to BSN practice experiences.

General Education Notes

Nurses educated outside of the United States will be required to take ENG105 Beginning Writing as their first course.

Students holding a bachelor’s degree in another field will automatically be awarded 30 general education credits hours for the RN to BSN.

American Sentinel University knows that working healthcare professionals are very different from traditional classroom students. That’s why we purposely designed our curriculum strictly for online education. We became one of the first in the nation to do so, and one of the few online institutions to focus solely on healthcare. The difference this makes is palpable. The confidence our faculty inspires is contagious. But it’s the personal and professional satisfaction our graduates find in the workplace that keeps us going. Find out why working healthcare professionals choose American Sentinel University.
